YOU - ARE - IN - GRAVE - DANGER! By the time Miranda deciphered the mysterious letter it was too late. Hate, the Demon, had already found her. When her mother disappears, she must flee her home in the middle of the night with a sinister stranger, or stay and die. She races through the streets of Ottawa to Parliament Hill, seeking in the maze of tunnels under the Library of Parliament a portal into a parallel world. Miranda learns that she, alone, can capture the Serpent's Egg, the magic needed to save two worlds from the Demon and her hate-crazed minions. But Miranda is not alone. Her dauntless friends, Bell, Nick, Penelope, and the hateful Muffy, accompany her on a perilous quest through unknown lands inhabited by Dwarves, Trolls, Dragons, Wizards, Wobbles, and other fabulous and dangerous species. And, following close on the companions' heels are the Demon and a host of bad, bad creatures whose purpose is to stop Miranda before she stops them for good. On this fantastic journey, friendships and personal courage are put to the ultimate test in the never-ending war between good and evil.
